When you find a Safeway coupon you like on their website, even though these come up as a coupons.com link, you can check the websites of their other stores and in many cases print additional coupons from the other store's links as well.

Credit for this goes to Skibum - On the SCO at Safeway if your coupon doesnt scan you can manually input the numbers using the enter PLU function. Basically its the option where you would enter produce.

A coupon database is available at www.Families.com once you've registered there. Good resource for checking availability & location of coupons for specific items you're interested in. (Thx to errickson for the info!) Another great one is available at www.coupontom.com [http]. And the nice thing here, you don't have to register!

This thread has good info on what coupons are available, what insert they were in and the date.

Also keep in mind the Entertainment Book typically has money saving coupons for Safeway listed quarterly. And, if your store doesn't object, these coupons sometimes do not beep based on dates.

Coupon use at Safeway
Safeway usually issues store specific coupons via various formats...newspaper ads, mailers & emails. You can sign up for emails on their website.

Their coupons tend to scan fine at any store within their brand, even if the stores are not in the same area. For example, Tom Thumb coupons work at Randall's, and vice versa.

Their coupons also tend to scan fine at any store within their brand, even if the coupon says it's good only at a certain store. The best example of these are the ones issued when a store is remodeling or for a grand opening.

Usually, their coupons scan fine when you are using two different types of their coupons on one product. For example, $1 off Tide from a newspaper ad and $2 off Tide from some other source. This only works when the two coupons are obviously different (check the codes). I am not sure if it would work if you were only buying one item and trying to use two store coupons. I've never had a reason to test that.

Their coupons can be used in conjunction with manufacturers coupons, even if that causes an overage, although they won't pay you to take products out of the store!

Some stores don't accept internet printable coupons, there is a corporate policy on what coupons they take, and some stores follow this policy to the nth degree. If you get to one of these stores, try the store down the street, it is probably much more coupon friendly.

Manufacturer coupons for free or bogo items tend to attempt to give you credit for the price of the item without the card discount, but they usually beep for the cashier to approve the coupon.

Self Checkout lanes (SCOs) are a great way to get out of the store quickly. You can use your coupons except all BOGO, FREE and coupons over $3.00 (may be $2) require cashier intervention. This can be a hassle if you have very many of these type of coupons. You will also have trouble if you're buying a clearanced product that has the % off tag that has to be scanned.

Stores in different areas have different promotional deals regarding the doubling and/or tripling of coupons. If you see someone commenting on it here, you need to check what your local store does.

And while coupons may scan fine, the cashier you're dealing with can make any of the above YMMV.

CATALINA MARKETING CONTACT INFO:

If you face any problem while using or getting Catalina coupons (CATs), you can call or contact them.

just got back from Vons, all of these prices are still good! except the cereal!

Just wanted to note that I bought 1 box of Lucky Charms cereal, I had 3 55 cent eq's come off,so final price 35 cents I did NOT use a paper coupon, but it looks as if they eq's still stack , just not when paired with paper q. Of course I would much rather be able to stack 'em all. But hey I will take 35 cent Lucky Charms anyday!

I went back today! I was thinking I would get the Pillsbury holiday cookies and see if my 7 dollars worth of eq's would come off! I got 2 valentine cookies. NONE came off at all!! Oh well, I even asked the manager about it. He said he would rering it and take off the 1.00 eq manually. He said his wife also loads them on their shopping card and he is not allowed to buy anything without her "permission". LOL I just declined, since I did not just want $1.00 off, I wanted the whole 7 dollars LOL. I just told him I must have got the wrong ones and I would just try again on a later date! Next time I go back I will try the regular flavor cookies and see what happens.

Motts Medleys are part of the buy 4 save $4 deal at Safeway. I found some blinkies in a shopping cart a few weeks ago for $1 off 1. This makes them .49. You might want to check your stash of coupons for these. I don't think medleys were advertised as part of the sale, so this was a nice surprise for me

I am new to couponing so I apologize in advance if this is a simple question!

I received the catalina q last time I shopped at safeway for $2 off 4 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks. If I purchase the 4 boxes at .99 can I use the $2 catalina AND a $1 off two boxes newspaper q? Or since they are both manufactures q's can I only use one?

The $2 is off all four boxes so you can't use another manufacturer coupon with it. I haven't been on in a few days but I thought the fruit snack deal ended a few days ago?

Yes you can use them both, the $2 cat is an OYNO coupon and doesn't attach to anything. The $1/2 insert Q's will attach to the fruit snacks, in fact if you are buying 4 boxes you should be able to use two of the $1/2 Q's. However, didn't the .99 sale price ended Tuesday?

The OP said that it is $2 off of 4 boxes not an OYNO. Which means that no she can't use it with another MQ.

Oops, you are right, my bad! I misread the OP to say they received a cat for $2 off "from buying" 4 fruit snacks rather than "for" 4 fruit snacks, I see now what they meant, there is a subtle difference there! Sorry about that!

Yeah, I missed the sale. =( Still new to all of this so I have one more question...

I was confused about the $2.00 catalina coupon, it says "Save $2.00 on your next order" which I assumed meant off anything? But on the right hand side it says "congrats! save even more buy 3 fruit snacks save $1" etc.
